First, get a spare box to play with, and practice upgrading.  Both your
version of FreeBSD and Apache are out of date.

Funny you should ask, I'm working on a how-to web site for setting up web
servers, but I haven't made it as far as the virtual stuff.  Really
simple, though.

First, you need to set up an aliased IP address.  if you're connected to
ethernet, you can simply add a line to /etc/rc.local that looks like this:

ifconfig ed0 alias 204.160.242.11 netmask 255.255.255.255

Then, you need to add something like this to the srm.conf file (wherever
it is located)

<VirtualHost test.bfd.com>
ServerAdmin webmaster@bfd.com
ServerName test.bfd.com
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/htdocs/test
ErrorLog logs/test.bfd.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/test.bfd.com-access_log
Alias /index.html /usr/local/www/htdocs/test/root.shtml
</VirtualHost>

where all the locations and such match up, and test.bfd.com is replaced
with the name that corresponds to the IP address.
